Article Synopsis
- Tsukamurella species are rare bacteria that can cause infections, especially in people with weak immune systems, but can also infect healthy individuals after medical procedures.
- A 51-year-old man developed a serious infection after a nasal surgery, which caused him to have fevers and pain, and doctors figured out he had Tsukamurella species even when they first thought it was something else.
- The case shows that it's important to recognize and test for unusual bacteria like Tsukamurella, so doctors can use the right medicines to help patients recover.
